Collagen for Tendon Support
Collagen for tendon support may help connective tissue when taken with vitamin C near training, but whole-food protein and loading remain primary.
Collagen for tendon support usually means fifteen grams hydrolyzed collagen with vitamin C thirty to sixty minutes before tendon-heavy sessions—a small adjunct to sleep, progressive loading, and total protein intake. Evidence is promising but not magic; skipping rehab while supplementing fails.
Whole-food protein still supplies amino acids for repair.
Common questions
-
Is collagen better than whey for tendons?
They serve different roles—whey supports general muscle protein synthesis; collagen trials target connective tissue timing with loading. Adequate total protein beats either alone.
